14: .SH DESCRIPTION
15: This package of
16: .I nroff
17: and
18: .I troff
19: macro definitions provides a canned formatting
20: facility for tech%nical papers in various formats.
21: When producing 2-column output on a terminal, filter
22: the output through
23: .IR col (1).
24: .PP
25: The macro requests are defined below.
26: Many
27: .I nroff
28: and
29: .I troff
30: requests are unsafe in conjunction with
31: this package, however these requests may be used with
32: impunity after the first .pp:
33: .nf
34: .IP
35: .ta \w'.sz +n 'u
36: \&.bp begin new page
37: \&.br break output line here
38: \&.sp n insert n spacing lines
39: \&.ls n (line spacing) n=1 single, n=2 double space
40: \&.na no alignment of right margin
41: \&.ce n center next n lines
42: \&.ul n underline next n lines
43: \&.sz +n add n to point size
